There's nothing quite like discovering a new favorite restaurant. Sure, we all have a special place in our hearts for a tried and true chain or two, but there's something rewarding about trying a new place and loving every bite. And if it has charm and character found nowhere else, all the better.

We've put together a sampling of some of our favorite spots to eat in Star Valley. But you don't have to take our word for it – each of these eateries has received glowing reviews. Whether you're just passing through, new to the area or simply a curious Star Valley native, you're sure to find a favorite or two of your own on our list.

307 Grill – Hey y'all! Another restaurant review! On or around 06/03/25, I ate at the 307 Grill. They're a food trailer that is usually parked at AJ's Liquor in Afton. They have the most succulent, juicy burgers (at least that's what I ate), with some pretty fresh toppings. I'm not fan of store-bought buns or rolls, but it would be hard to bake your own rolls in a trailer. And, since the burgers are a half-pound in size, I didn't care too much!

I had my burger with cheddar and Bleu Cheese (my personal favorite). And, they have delicious waffle-cut fries to boot. Give them a try and see if you don't keep going back. I'll try to get a menu to post.

They're there Tuesdays - Saturdays, from 11am-8pm (except special days/weeks like the Fair). Wed close at 7pm. Email: The307Grill@Yahoo.com.

Mountain Creek BBQ & Catering – On or around 06/12/25, I ate at Mountain Creek BBQ and Catering, owned by Jim & Angie Turner. They're a food trailer that is usually parked in the parking lot of Dr. Huntsman's "Brain & Body Chiro" building. They are a unique place that will keep you coming back. I got the Chicken Potato meal (it has a particular name, but I can't remember it).

They cut a huge potato in half, and smother it with beans, chicken [or your chosen meat], sauce, and other stuff (onions, etc.), and add a scoop of sour cream. It's absolutely delicious. And, if you're with your spouse or significant other, it's too much to eat all by itself, so share it. I don't have days & hours, so call: 307-248-1535. Email: MtnCreekBBQ@GMail.com .

Rocky Mountain Seafood – Seafood
492 S. Washington St. | Afton, WY 83110 – (307) 885-2722
“Holy cow! I don't know how on earth this place could offer such good seafood in a landlocked state. It is amazing.” – Google review
We know what you're thinking: “Great seafood…in the Rockies?!” But as this reviewer and plenty of others like him can attest, Rocky Mountain Seafood is truly a treasure. The seafood is flown in and served fresh daily. Diners can't get enough of the halibut, cod, salmon and the shrimp bread. And for the picky eaters in your party, there's the “Fish Haters” menu. If you're in the mood to cook, fresh seafood is also available for purchase to prepare at home.
